Typical persistent current ($I_{typ}$) in a normal metal ring with disorder due to random grain boundaries and rough edges is calculated microscopically. If disorder is due to the rough edges, a ballistic current $I_{typ}\simeq e v_F/L$ is…

We study mesoscopic transport in the Q1D wires and rings made of a 2D conductor of width W and length L >> W. Our aim is to compare an impurity-free conductor with grain boundaries with a grain-free conductor with impurity disorder. A…
We consider a disordered system of gapless fermions interacting with a singular transverse (2+1)-dimensional gauge-field. We study quantum corrections to fermion conductivity and show that they are very different from those in a Fermi…
For several decades it has been known that divergences arise in the ground-state energy and chemical potential of unitary superfluids, where the scattering length diverges, due to particle-hole scattering. Leading textbooks and research…
AC noise in disordered conductors causes both dephasing of the electron wave functions and a DC current around a mesoscopic ring. We demonstrate that the dephasing rate tau_{\phi}^{-1} in long wires and the DC current, induced by the same…
We report the first calculation of persistent current in two coupled rings which form a character ``8'' genus g=2 structure. We obtain an exact solution for the persistent current and investigated the exact solution numerically. For two…
We propose four different mechanisms responsible for paramagnetic or diamagnetic persistent currents in normal metal rings and determine the circumstances for change of the current from paramagnetic to diamagnetic ones and {\it vice versa}.…
We consider one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with a simple attractive interaction, where the distance between consecutive particles is not allowed to exceed a certain limit and investigate the consequences of this coupling on…
